Pros

CEO vision is very positive. Benefits are great especially for long distance runners - someone who wants to possibly retire from this company. Nice health benefits, 401k match, fitness center, etc

Cons

Parking is extremely challenging - be prepared to walk close to a mile each way, often in freezing rain or snow. Access involves more than 50 steep, hazardous stairs, which makes the commute physically demanding. Many of the buildings appear very old and poorly maintained. Restrooms are unhygienic, carpets are stained and worn, and much of the equipment and control systems seem decades out of date. Even white-collar roles operate on a rigid shift system, with required start times as early as 7:00 AM. This can be particularly difficult for those with children or anyone who is not suited to early-morning schedules. If you are in an Information Technology role, most software development is offshored. Expect to work extensively with offshore teams, often aligned to their time zones and availability rather than local working hours. The organization is highly hierarchical, and this is reflected in day-to-day experiences such as parking access, seating arrangements, and the process for obtaining equipment.

Pros

Easy going, nice benefits, free further education (masters/PhD). Great for an engineer starting out who needs to dip their feet in the pool of engineering for a few years and to get a great 401(k) match at the start of your career (compounding growth). Great for late stage career due to the benefits and solid enough pay in a low cost of living area

Cons

pay-scale lagging, no emphasis on learning new things, no punishment for people who are bad at their job. After working for 4 years, I feel like I should have jumped ship after 2. I haven't been given meaningful work that really challenges me in a while. Now I feel pigeonholed into staying because I have enough years of experience that I really should be considered senior, but I haven't been given work that reflects what I senior engineer should be capable of. Now I'm trying to jump ship before it's really too late. If I stay here another 2 years I think I will be genuinely unemployable and will have to stay at this company forever.
